Come shop with me at the Downtown San José Farmers Market using your EBT/CalFresh benefits! 🙌 Simply stop by the info booth and exchange your EBT for farmers market cash to shop at participating vendors.

Stretch your benefits on fresh fruits, veggies, and local goods, all while supporting local vendors🛍️

Come shop and save with us at Arteaga’s using EBT 🛒✨

If you’re using CalFresh Food Benefits, take advantage of the California Fruit & Vegetable EBT Pilot Project 🍎🥦

Here’s how it works:
When you use your EBT card to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, you can earn back the money you just spent✅

It’s an easy way to keep your grocery budget strong while choosing fresh, healthy foods 💚
